The British royal family could not be happier about the arrival of Baby Sussex, and for the first time, they included a tribute to the late Princess Diana in their own birth announcement.
Meghan Markle welcomed her and Prince Harry’s first child, a boy, on Monday. The couple announced the news on their Instagram page. So did the royal family.
“The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer have been informed and are delighted with the news,” read the family’s message.
The post refers to Queen Elizabeth II, her husband Prince Philip, their son and Harry’s father Prince Charles, his wife Camilla, Harry’s brother Prince William and wife Kate Middleton, and Diana’s two sisters and brother-Baby Sussex’s great-aunts and great-uncle.
Neither Diana’s family members nor Kate’s were named in the royal family’s announcements of the births of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s children Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and Prince Louis, 1.
